Dm Am
It's like i dressed up in my mama's clothing
Dm Am Gm7 A
It's like i'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist
Dm Am
It's like i got a wire crossed upstairs
Dm Am
But all i want is just a little truth
Gm7 A
And that's it
Dm A
They say i'm mental but i'm just confused
Dm A
They say i'm mental but i've been abused
Dm A Gm7 A
They say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
Dm Am x2
Dm Am
Another anchorman is on the tv

I turn the channel but nothing is changing

he only truth is that everything is a lie
Chorus

There's truth in everything, There's truth in lies

With all this knowledge where i think i'm gonna be wise
